BMW F30 Transfer Case - Diagnosis/Replacement

[Dan of Montana]

Hello - Just as I had previously done when dialing in the brakes for my F31 (link here: https://www.revogarage.com/bmw-f30-brake-pads/), I also wanted to also document my journey with addressing the transfer case.

The link is here: https://www.revogarage.com/bmw-f30-transfer-case/

It covers the symptoms I had, how it was diagnosed, the installation, and results.

Thanks for looking! And interested in your F30 transfer case experiences.

I put this thread here that actually explains the failure and how to prevent it:

I read your thread several times throughout the process. I put my article together for a different purpose: to share the experience from symptom to fix. Mine isn't a tech article. Doing the internet sleuthing and throwing some parts at it to hone in on if it actually was a transfer case issue was something that took sometime and something that I felt was worth writing about.
